Capability Aims

Students develop a solid foundation of knowledge of the biological and earth sciences of the nearby natural environment.

Students develop knowledge, understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and European peoples past and how they shaped the nearby natural environment.

Students develop a sense of wonder, curiosity and respect for places, people, cultures and environments.

Biological & Earth Sciences, Historical Knowledge, Environmental Change

Environmental Change & Management

Causes and consequences of environmental change in Australia.

Aboriginal approaches to custodial responsibility and environmental management in different regions in Australia.
